From "Unfair Prices" to the "Peanut Capital": In 2015, I Decided to Return Home and Make Peanut Oil
Discover the journey of Zhengyang peanutsâfrom the "Peanut Capital of China" straight to your table.
Hello everyone, I'm Wang Jianhua, a native of Zhengyang and Founder of Pinwei Agriculture. My hometown, Zhengyang, has a beautiful name â The Peanut Capital of China. The county's planting area is 1.7 million mu, truly the number one peanut county in China. Zhengyang peanuts are a National Geographic Indication protected product. There's a reputation that says: for world peanuts, look to China; for Chinese peanuts, look to Zhengyang. Step into Zhengyang, premium peanuts are everywhere. But for a long period in the past, such high-quality raw materials from Zhengyang often couldn't fetch a fair price. In 2015, I made up my mind to return home and build a factory. I just wanted to take Zhengyang's good peanuts and make them into something people can safely eat â great peanut oil.
